Before and After


The boom splits in two


This is not a good situation


Make it work without a boom


Sailing again


Half


And half

PUMA's il mostro has a fantastic start to Leg Four...and then the boom split in half. This was not exactly in to plan, but the crew got the situation under control and was back sailing the next day. Sailing without boom is not an easy feat, but PUMA made up a lot of miles and finished Leg Four with an impressive second place.
